I did too -- a mix of VT101's, IBM 3270's, VT-220's. Most of the VT-220's were green, but we had a few amber ones, which I preferred over green (it felt like such leading edge tech for some reason). We had a few demo units with a white phosphor, and they were amazing - you could use an escape sequence to turn on reverse video and tell yourself it was just like reading a piece of paper (it was not).
I have a bit of nostalgia for those screens but wouldn't want to use one for more than a few minutes. But would love to have an old DEC VT-220 keyboard!
